Cardinal Gibbons on DIR. McGlynn's Case.
Special to tue Indianapolis journal.
NEW YORK, March 3l.-The report Of Cardinal
Gibbons to the Congregation of the Propaganda
at Rome, the French text of which has been
published here contains some passages in refer
ence to Dr. McGlynn and the labor question
which seem to have been hitherto overlooked
The Cardinal says:
''We have seen, quite recently, the painful
and menacing confusion occasioned by the con-
demnaton inflicted by an archbishop upon a
single priest in vindication of discipline a con-
demnation which the archbishop believed to be
both just and necessary, but which
fell upon priest who was re-
earded as friend OF the people
OF priest have been SO deplorable for the peace
of the church because he has been regarded as a
friend Of the people. what consequences would
there not be feared from a condemnation which
would fall directly upon the people them
selves in the exercise of what they
believe to be their legitimate riehtsl
But, aside from the dangers which would follow
such condemnation, and the possibility of caus-
ing it to be observed. there should also be re-
far from permanent, as indicated by the public
press nearly every day, that, in the opinion of the
practical men of our country. it cannot last
many years. 1t follows, hence, that il is not
necessary, even were it just and pru-
dent, to direct the solemn condemna-
tions Of the church against a thing
which will disappear of itself Social
agitation will certainly exist so long as there re-
main errors to be remedied, but the reforms of

ment would constitute the county court
Judge a judge in bankruptcy within the
area of his ordinary jurisdiction. In reference
to those tenants who are insolvent through no
fault of their own, the court might order com
position upon an insolvent's old debt, the debtor
continuing to occupy his holding for as long
period as the judge might decide, and to pay
fair rental fixed by the court. The principle
here was leniency to. the innocent insolvent. of
whose good faith and exactitude the courts
should be assured, but extravagant and
idle insolvents would be left to the
ordinary laws: The , rates Of Of landlords
or whose land had not been occupied owing to
intimidation, would be remitted. The bill pro-
vides for a state of things which the govern
ment hoped by legislation, before long, to re-
move, and was an instament, but in no sense
compositon. The government asked their
lordships who were landlords in Ireland, and
those connected with them, to make heavy sac
rifces. The measure strictly regarded the
rights OF property, and was, through an earnest
desire to remedy complaints arieIg from the
land laws, drawn in spirit y fairness and
justice.
The Parnellites are violently opposed to the
governments land bill, introduced in the House
of Lords to night. and many Liberal Unionists
they will consent to support it.
Explaining the Cause of the Disorders.
LONDON, March 31.-Mr. Labouchere, in the
House of Commcns, this evening, declared that
whatever disorder there might be in Ireland was
due to the execrable laws for the government
for that portion of the kingdom which had been
enacted and enforced in defiance of the ex-
pressed wish of tho people, During the presi-
dency OF Andrew Johnson, Mr.. Labouchere
said, terrorism and outrage were rampant
in the Southern States of America,
but from the moment home rule
was granted to thosS States, in 1876, the dsor
der subsded and quickly disappeared. Mr. La
bouchere then paid his respects to Mr.. Chamber
lain by taunting him with having made an offer
that that party would accept his Irish scheme,
and. when they refused to entertain his offer.
with having taken his goods to the Conservative
market The coercion bill he characterized as
simply outrageous. and declared that the
enormities Of the measure would in themselves
do more than anything to advance the prospects
of home rule.
MIR. Parnell moved to adjourn the debate
Mr.. Smith gave notice that he would ask the
House to morrow to decide the main question,
and would on Monday move the second reading
Of the bill.
Mr.. Parnell said if closure were to be applied
to morrow he must consider whether he would
go into his amendment with the weight Of
clos ure around his neck.
Mr.. Smith said he would not refer to closure
at all. but had simply expressed hope that a
division would be taken. Adjourned.

ROME AND THE KNIGHTS.

Cardinal Manning Cordially Endorses the
Statements Of Cardinal Gibbons.
BALTIMORE, March 3l.-A special from Rome
gives the following as the text of the letter of
Cardinal Manning, regarding the Knights of
Labor to prominent divine of that city:

for nine days service. amounting to $50, and
for $50 miles travel, amounting at the legal

he charges $21 for services for his sons as

THE RED-MOUTHED MOST.

The conviction of Johann Most is another
excellent indication of an aroused public sem
timent The American people are in no mood
to trife with anarchism its propagators,
and if the foreigners who come here to preach
lawessness and assassination insist on being
made martyrs of they can be accommodated.
Among the Anarchist murderers hanged at
Chicago there was none worse than this man
Most, who has probably done more to dssem-
mate poisonous doctrines and literature than
any other man in the country. Fortunately
the laws of New York cover his case. and he is
in a fair way to pay the penalty of his incen-
diary utterances by term of imprisonment.
Like the Chicago murderers, he had jury
trial and fair one. and his conviction is a
plain, vindicaton of law. In testifying in his
own behalf he made very different speech
to the jury from the one for which he was in
dicted. But the jury were not mised. On
cross-examination he said: 1--WE do not fight
against any particular government We do
not especially fight the government of the
United States we are opposed to government
as such; we think cnaC the power Heiu ny tue
government should be abolished" This is
the true spirit of anarchism. 1t is not war on
any government in particular, but against
any and all governments. In other words, it
is a demand for the institution of hell on
earth. To accomplish this they advocate and
counsel murder assassination and the use Of
dynamite against all in authority, all capital
lists and all friends of law and order. Such
men are entitled TO no more consideration
than mad dogs. Their pretense that they
represent the cause of labor, the interests of
workingmen, or any other healthy idea. is an
audacious attempt to play upon the credulity
of the unthinking and the i'll informed. They
represent nothing but the worst conditions and
the worst possibilities of human society.

SOMETIME since the North American Re-
view announced the publication of a series of
papers on possible Presidents, the Gualifca-
tons and merits of each to be set forth by
personal friend and admirer. The current
issue of the magazine contains a eulogistic
review of Grover Cleveland's career by
Dorman B. Eaton, the gentleman who once
figured as a Republican () member of the
Civil-service Commission. When Mr. Cleve-
land reads how he has stood out against an
army of partisan chiefs and spoilsmen, and
that nothing but a lofty sense of duty and
power to resist and to work could have
sustained him, he will feel that a great
mistake was made in permitting this noble
non partisan to retire from the board Mr..
Eaton acknowledges that the President has
been weak in spots, but insists that in spite
of Maryland and Indiana he has kept his
pledges, and ''has done more than any other
President for reform in administration ard

ogists and sympathizers among certain class
of moral invertebrates who, posing as reform
ers and advanced thinkers" seem to find
sort of sentimental dissipation in sympathiz-
ing with moral cranks of high and low degree.
A specimen of this class, which has it's rep
resentatives even in the pulpit, is the Rev.
Hugh o. Pentecost who in sermon deliv-
cred in Newark, N. j., after the
hanging of the Chicago Anarchists.
said that Gin the main they were right, and
their hanging was an outrage on the Christian
community" Well, if they were right in
the main, the Reverend Pentecost and all
other preachers of the gospel are in the main
wrong. If the execution of those Anarchist
murderers was an outrage on the Christian
community, then the Christian religion is an
outrage on common sense. Men of the Pen
tecost type are scarcely less dangerous than
open Anarchists. They cannot be tried and
convicted in the courts, but they should be
at the bar of public opinion. Johann Most
has been twice convicted and imprisoned in
Austria, twice in Berlin, and once in England.
